Wine Review
Archive - Australia, Riesling
($14). Super dry and with impressive acidity,
this Riesling stood above most of the
other Australian Rieslings with its racy
citrus and appealing minerality. Picks
up a pretty nectarine note on the lingering
finish. Ready to drink now and over the
next couple of years. (Weekend Wine, 05/04)
($15). Pretty
peach and floral aromas and flavors pick
up mineral notes along the way to the
bone dry finish. Very nice. Ready to drink
now. Locate this wine online or in your
area! (Weekend Wine 03/06)

A nice example of restraint in Australia
winemaking, this wine offers elegant golden
apple and citrus fruit, with appealing
mineral and light white pepper notes.
Ready to drink now. (Robyn's Picks, 04/04)
($20). Just a beautiful
wine, with focused pear and citrus flavors
that stay elegant as they gain complexity
through the lingering finish, picking
up mineral notes along the way. Ready
to drink now and over the next four or
five years. (Weekend Wine 03/06)
($19). Mouthwatering aromas and flavors
include citrus and apricot, with just
a touch of mineral, and stay focused and
juicy through the long finish. Very good
now and over the next six or seven years.
(Wine Tasting 06/05)
($9). Extremely dry and lemony, but
quite drinkable. A refreshing quaff
for a summer day -- begs for oysters
or steamed shellfish. Just a hint of
mineral on the finish. (Weekend Wine
03/06)

green apple fruit and mineral flavors.
Ready to drink now. (Robyn's Picks,

mineral note supporting honeysuckle, nectarine
and pear flavors. Stays focused through

An easy-going Riesling, with pretty floral

One of the tastiest "New World"
Rieslings we’ve tasted in recent
memory – at any price. Beautifully

tropicals, stone fruit and citrus, with
appealing flinty notes throughout. Lush,
generous finish. Ready to drink now and
over the next year or two. (Bargain Wine,

keeps bringing you back for another
sip, with its textbook perfumed, lime

pear flavors, mineral accents and long,
mouthwatering finish. Ready to drink
now and over the next seven or eight
years. (Weekend Wine 03/06)

(Weekend Wine 03/06)
($7). The Traminer Riesling blends the

with the light florals and peach of the
Riesling. Try this chilled wine as an
aperitif or with spicy Thai. (ETFOFW,
